Cases
Jack: Doctor, I usually work "white plus black" and "five plus two" is the norm, when my wife and I first got married, "husband and wife life" was very harmonious, 3~5 times a week, and then I had a baby at home, my work is getting busier and busier, my wife always says to be modest, so it is healthier, is it true? Is it normal for me to always think about "living as a couple" with my wife?
Doctor: The frequency of "conjugal life" varies according to different physical conditions and different ages. Too often can lead to physical discomfort and even illness; But too much moderation can also cause varying degrees of damage and even destroy family harmony.
Small classes
Classification of the frequency of "married life".
According to the nature of skeletal muscle, the frequency of "conjugal life" can be divided into four types, namely injury frequency, dependent frequency, free frequency and zero frequency.
Frequency of injuries The frequency of "conjugal life" > 10 times in 30 days, with an interval of < 3 days.
Dependency Frequency The frequency of "conjugal life" > 1 time and 10 times ≤ 30 days within 30 days, with an interval of ≥ 3 days and a < of 30 days.
Free Frequency The frequency of "conjugal life" within 30 days > 0 times and ≤ 1 time, with an interval of ≥ 30 days.
Zero Frequency The frequency of "conjugal life" is 0 times in 30 days, and the interval is infinite.
Studies have shown that "marital life" once every 3 days does not cause harm to the human body.
The role of harmonious "conjugal life".
A harmonious and happy "conjugal life" is a necessity of family life, and of course it has its own special physical and mental promotion effect.
★ Relieves pain and aids sleep
During "married life", the hypothalamus and pituitary gland of the human body secrete a large amount of oxytocin to relieve body pain; Couples can also help relieve stress, promote sleep and make the body more relaxed.
★ Strengthens immunity and protects breasts
After entering a state of sexual arousal, the breasts will be heavily congested, and when the "couple life" is completed, the congested breasts will also subside naturally, and this periodic change can promote blood circulation in the breasts and prevent breast diseases. In addition, the weekly harmonious "conjugal life" also resists the invasion of the virus.
★ Beauty and anti-aging, improve memory
Studies have found that "married life" can promote the increase of androgen and estrogen levels in the human body, and estrogen can increase the elasticity of the skin and delay aging. There are also studies that have found that proper "couple life" can help prevent brain aging and boost metabolism, delaying the rate of memory loss.
★ Protects the prostate gland and prevents cardiovascular accidents
Proper "married life" can prevent prostatitis and may even reduce the risk of prostate cancer. Studies have shown that there is no direct correlation between the frequency of "married life" and heart attacks, and it is even more gratifying that "married life" more than twice a week in healthy young adults can reduce the incidence of fatal heart disease by 50%.
Knowledge development
"Conjugal life" is too frequent and hurts a lot
★ Damage to the prostate
Long-term "conjugal life" too often can lead to prostatitis. Long-term congestion of the prostate gland can lead to inflammation in the prostate; Repeated ejaculation can easily lead to pain in the lower abdomen during ejaculation, which is mainly manifested as abnormal urination, such as frequent urination, urgency, unclean urine, sometimes stabbing pain in the urethra, etc., as well as pain in the scrotum, testicles and lumbosacral region.
★ Damage to pelvic floor muscles
Too often "conjugal life" can lead to repeated congestion of the pelvic floor muscles, resulting in an inflammatory response, typically characterized by pelvic pain. Because the pelvic floor muscles are required to perform the functions of the urethra and anus, there may be abnormalities such as increased urination, unclean urine, burning sensation in the urethra, increased frequency of stools, or constipation after pelvic floor muscle injury.
★ Causes vaginitis
The vaginal flora (including a variety of bacteria) lives in an environment that forms a microenvironment, and if the microenvironment is out of balance, it will lead to the multiplication of pathogenic bacteria and vaginal inflammation. If the frequency of "married life" is too high, the acidic environment will not be relieved, which will lead to the multiplication and growth of pathogenic bacteria, causing inflammation.
Too little "conjugal life" can also affect the prostate
Too little "conjugal life" will lead to excessive sexual tension, as soon as there is stimulation, it will produce sensitivity and sexual excitement, resulting in repeated congestion of the penis, especially when sleeping at night, the penis involuntarily and frequently erections, repeated congestion and stimulation of the prostate, causing prostate inflammation.
Misunderstandings
Vaginitis does not occur without "conjugal life".
The occurrence of vaginitis in women is affected by many factors, and it is not that there is no vaginitis without "conjugal life". Vaginitis can be caused when women do not wash their vulva, do not pay attention to menstrual hygiene, or hormonal changes after menopause. However, excessive "conjugal life" may increase the risk of vaginitis.
Older people should not have a "married life"
Living a "married life" for the elderly is also an important part of the happiness of old age, but pay attention to the time and frequency.
The more frequent the "conjugal life",
The more satisfied the wife
Many studies have shown that women are not satisfied with "married life" because of the high frequency of "married life", and if the couple's relationship and intimacy are not good, the satisfaction of "married life" will be greatly reduced.
Too much "conjugal life" can lead to prostate cancer
There is no consensus in the industry on whether the frequency of "married life" can lead to prostate cancer, but more studies still believe that "married life" is a protective factor for prostate cancer.
